Chapter 492 summary
On the deck of the Thousand Sunny the Straw Hats discuss the Flying Fish Riders' withdrawal and prepare for battle while noting that the riders are heading in the same direction as the ship. Sanji expresses concern for Hacchin and acknowledges that Makuro's crew is targeting him specifically. At the Flying Fish Riders' headquarters east of the Shabondy Archipelago a subordinate reports the return of two riders to Iron Mask Duval. Duval sits on his throne and erupts in rage over the retreat order while his subordinates are blasted aside by his fury. He declares his long-held hatred for a certain man whose appearance makes the wound on his back throb and vows to destroy the pirates immediately. The Makuro crew members Gyaro, Makuro and Tansui react with confusion to Duval's outburst and mock his pronunciation of orders.
